| MATCH REPLAY |
| SET 1 I 25-22 |
Newberry tallied its best hitting percentage (.238) of the afternoon in the opening set, but the Black & Gold used a late run to build momentum. The Wolves took their final lead of the opening stanza, 20-19, on a kill by Margaret McMahon, but the hosts captured the next two points and never trailed after that, ultimately scoring four of the set's final five points to close it out. |
| SET 2 I 25-18 |
UNCP scored six-straight points to forge an early 11-5 advantage, but Newberry slowly chipped away at its deficit and eventually took a 20-19 advantage late in the set. The Braves would be undeterred, however, and answered with a 5-1 run to set up a set point opportunity that was finished via a service error by the visitors. |
| SET 3 I 25-21 |
The Braves strung together three-straight points midway through to take control of a back-and-forth third set, and then tacked up six of the match's final eight points to finish off the sweep. A kill by Zoe Dinkins evened up the set up at 20 points apiece, but an attack error on the ensuing rally gave UNCP the lead for good. Shannon Skryd handed the Braves a set-point opportunity with a kill to the right side, and then closed the lid on the team win with another kill moments later. |

| MATCH REPLAY |
| SET 1 I 25-17 |
The squads split the first 22 points of the match, but UNCP brought the fire out of a timeout and rattled off four-straight points that put it on top for good. The Braves used a 7-2 run to pad their lead out to 22-15 following an attack error by the Rams, and finished out the first set with kills from Brianna Warren and Erin O'Donnell. |
| SET 2 I 25-16 |
UNCP hit better than .300 at the net in the second set, raised eyebrows even more by posting nine-straight points to build an 18-7 advantage and all but put the set out of reach. The Rams attempted to get back into the set with a 5-1 run that trimmed their deficit back to eight points, 22-14, but the Braves took three of the set's final five points to take control of the match. |
| SET 3 I 25-15 |
The Braves committed just five errors in the third and final set of the matchup, and used early runs of seven- and five-straight points to forge a 12-4 lead on the scoreboard. A give-and-take affair for much of the next 17 rallies, UNCP would ultimately wrap the night in Black & Gold by grabbing five of the final seven points of the night. |
